> BLK_STS_INVAL indicates the IO request itself was invalid, not that the
> device has failed. When raid1 treats this as a device error, it retries
> on alternate mirrors which fail the same way, eventually exceeding the
> read error threshold and removing the device from the array.
>
> This happens when stacking configurations bypass bio_split_to_limits()
> in the IO path: dm-raid calls md_handle_request() directly without going
> through md_submit_bio(), skipping the alignment validation that would
> otherwise reject invalid bios early. The invalid bio reaches the
> lower block layers, which fail the bio with BLK_STS_INVAL, and raid1
> wrongly interprets this as a device failure.
>
> Add BLK_STS_INVAL to raid1_should_handle_error() so that invalid IO
> errors are propagated back to the caller rather than triggering device
> removal. This is consistent with the previous kernel behavior when
> alignment checks were done earlier in the direct-io path.
